What is Important?

[Trent B]

The experience you take away from the building of a robot in 6 weeks seems to me to be far greater than that which I would assume you take away from winning a competition or having the perfect robot.

This year it really hit me when I heard how people viewed me as a Captain. A few of our mentors are concerned what the team will be like next year without me as are many of the members, even new ones this year. Seeing the light people on my team view me in has been inspiring. That they see me as a mentor despite still remaining a student is something I will definitely take away from this. This year, my final year as a student, my experience has reached its peak thus far. The respect and endearment that I receive from the members I lead, especially the one Keehun mentioned, makes my experience very important in my life.
